Form & Verdict
Nine-time winner whose best effort this year came when a close-up third over C&D in May, taking his form figures at this track to 213; below his best in two starts since and has left the Newland-Insole stable (bought for 9,000gns); visor replaces blinkers for his yard debut and he's interesting.

Visored for the first time when making a winning stable debut at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) last month and, although a beaten short-price favourite, posted another solid effort under a penalty at Sandown (1m); now 2lb higher but remains fairly treated on older form.

Changed hands for 9,000gns last month and comfortably exploited a reduced mark on last Thursday's stable debut at Nottingham (1m, good to firm), where he was odds-on in a first-time visor (retained); this C&D winner is ahead of the handicapper under a penalty and should be tough to beat.

Serial slow starter who ended a losing run off a 4lb lower mark at Doncaster 11 days ago before bumping into a well-handicapped winner over C&D last Thursday; holds claims, especially if he can get away on terms for a change.

Three AW wins include a C&D classified event in January; he added a turf win in July (also 1m) but not in the same form back in handicap company since and might be a shade high in the weights for now.

Decent record over C&D but lacks consistency and there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark (Doncaster win last month came off 3lb lower); others hold stronger claims.
